I'm noticing the same thing as well. My guess is that they realized that Azurite was too abundant in the endgame and rather than doing an elegant adjustment, they just downshifted the whole linear equation by some constant. I don't forsee myself going darkness diving for a while

My guess is that the subconscious choice of "I could F2P this if I wanted to, but I choose to pay for packs instead" is superior, even if Artifact ends up being cheaper than Hearthstone in the end.

What mana problems? Did you spec into MoM already, without a reliable way to regenerate mana?

They're going to offer rank progression during free mode?

Oh, Bloodseeker...meh.

Free mode has no rewards though. How many people play this game *just* to play it?

Frost Blades...Assassin...face tanky?

Got to maps with 4k life and maxed resists from leveling gear. I don't think they've change affix rarity.

You don't upgrade them unless they have a prophecy(that also has to drop). Eventually you'll reach a level where a rare will be better.

Invite sent for @TJT. @LachiusTZ that character is in a guild already.

Post your character name. You too @LachiusTZ

Character(Sliithum) doesn't exist. To anyone, remember to post your character name when you need an invite.

Look at porn.

You've been using Orb of Storms to apply curses while clearing?

Can some of you go back to D3 for a couple days?

Of course. Though, I imagine it will be disappointment from trap trigger area(I suck at aiming). Don't discount how much potential recovery Tinkerskin can add. Let's say you're throwing 8 traps/s, which is 800 hp/s and 400 es/s. Pyro is going to provide 600 hp/s. Just bored at work waiting...

Let's assume you're triggering the bare minimum traps needed to keep that 20% regen going, which is 5 traps/s. At 6k life, that's 8.33% life per second. Lower life, which trappers usually have, and higher traps/s(quite easy to do if you're tossing 4 per activation) will make this much larger.

I think the popularity of old Vaal Pact proves there no such thing as enough life recovery ;)

Oh, you meant bug free? I thought you meant preventing people getting ahold of your source. Odd that @Noodleface mentions Coverity, my employer makes a competing product.

Yes, BUT traps triggered by Chain Reaction don't count as triggered by enemies.

@James This is what I wound up with doing Tinkerskin - MoM - EB Yes, the gear is perhaps too ideal, but it's just how I do builds to normalize comparing them. I generally know which affixes can be prioritized. Only question mark is how much trap trigger area is enough.

I program directly into 1's and 0's. Compilers are for pussies.

Well, you can't run EB+MoM+Malachai's Awakening ;) Well, you can, but you definitely shouldn't. There seems to be 4 variants: Life - Loreweave - Malachai's Awakening Life - Loreweave - MoM Life - Tinkerskin - MoM - EB(?) LL - Shavs - MoM(?) The questions marks imply optional. I still want to...

You lost 1 from the helm enchant, not two. And since MS projectiles hit Shaper-sized targets at just a bit under 50% on average, you effectively lost 1.5 balls. If you were playing a build that had 14 projectiles overall, your overall LoH is now ~22% lower. Forum - Marauder - [3.4]...

The hit to MS is small, I doubt you'll notice it.

You get ES armor items and ES affixes where ever you can, it adds up quick to ~3k ES with many modifiers on the tree. The issue ends up being proccing Tinkerskin. Chain Reaction blocks "trap triggered by enemy", so I'm tossing this idea. Why do you think a build centered around Malachai's...

PoB The Malachai + Loreweave numbers are real though, I got almost to 6k life playing that build in Incursion. I'll admit Tinkerskin + EB might be a bit expensive to get it to 9k life.

@James What was his eHP compared to your other dude? Malachai's Awakening + Loreweave has great dps and good mitigation, but a bit under 6k raw HP. Tinkerskin + EB has a fair bit less dps, bit less elemental mitigation, but almost 9k raw HP.

Malachai's Awakening! There's Tinkerskin + EB too. I'm honestly not sure I like builds where you have to be concerned about mana costs.

I think it was Linus Torvalds that said C++ gives you just enough rope to hang yourself with. I have no problems with C, the language is good at what it's intended(low level and performance). C++, in attempts to stay modern, has grafted on lots of ugly constructs, keywords, and symbols...

Shaper trap gloves do not cost 10 ex. @Vorph not sure, was wondering the same myself. Spent the last couple hours cooking up a LL trapper and I cannot get the ES to satisfactory levels. As in, worth the investment, greater than 8k. Damage isn't turning out that good either because LL is...

But not on mana.

That would make sense, but you gotta give up Loreweave for that. MoM + Lavianga's + Loreweave seems to be the dominant setup. Lavianga's doesn't seem like enough during boss fights.

After the frustrations with spawning his first Aul on the 2nd to last day of the league, he said he wanted to play a game that is cheaper and has less RNG.

Mathil is moving over to Artifact.

Why do trappers and miners usually go MoM? I haven't seen a build that has the mana sustain to make MoM much of a benefit beyond the first hit. On top of that, trappers and especially miners usually have quite high mana costs. The only time I've played traps, it used Malachai's Awakening and...

Yeah, this helps diversify CoC builds. Juggs, for example, might have issues reaching a consistent crit rate to keep CoC on cooldown, but this will help.

Yes, as of 3.3, traps is one of the best starting builds and based on your build choices, can scale into one of the best end game builds.
